Freedesktop Entry Parser
A library for parsing FreeDesktop entry files in Rust. These files are used in the Desktop Entry, Icon Theme, and Systemd Unit file. They are similar to ini files but are distinct enough that an ini parse would not work.
Example Usage
As example input lets use the contents of sshd.service
[Unit]
Description=OpenSSH Daemon
Wants=sshdgenkeys.service
After=sshdgenkeys.service
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshd -D
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=process
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
For example, to print the start command we could do this:
use freedesktop_entry_parser::parse_entry;
let entry = parse_entry("./test_data/sshd.service")?;
let start_cmd = entry
.section("Service")
.attr("ExecStart")
.expect("Attribute doesn't exist");
println!("{}", start_cmd);
This prints /usr/bin/sshd -D

MSRV Policy
The current minimum support rustc version is specified above in this readme. We reserve the right to change this on minor version increases, but we will try to keep it reasonable. Given that this library is feature complete, the MSVR will likely only change with our dependencies.
